The Moisturizing Cream

Cremedelamer may be for many, I ain't one of them

I have been reading about La mer for more than a decade and I kept dreaming of when I will be able to afford it. Then the time came. I was only able to afford the mini though but I felt so excited nevertheless, it was like a dream come true. I started with lamer soft cream, ( i had read some reviews about the original creme de la mer being too thick) and yes within 1 week, I felt and saw the difference in my skin plump and glow, this healthy looking relaxed skin.I was bought! And ready to stick to the brand for life. But because it was the mini size, it didn't last me for more than 3 weeks. I decided to repurchase but this time, the original creme de la mer thinking because it is thicker, it will last longer. I was right on it lasting longer. But as per the effect on my skin-Horrible!!! To say the least. No matter how much I warm it up with my fingers as described and shown in the video, this stuff won't get absorbed into my face skin. It just sits on my skin, with an ugly and sickly looking white cast like I am using a sunscreen or a foundation of lighter shade. Having read thousands of good reviews about this product, I thought things will change with time plus considering the hard earned money i used to buy it.After about a week, my face started breaking out in an unusual manner. The break outs seem to be beneath my skin like with a veil...funny right. My skin became the dullest I have ever seen it. No radiance, no glow, just total dullness that makes me sad when I look at my face in the mirror. I won't ever be buying creme de lamer again. Never. Maybe the soft cream in the future. Thank God I started with that. But I need to get over the waste of hard earned money, the disappointment as well as the terribly DULL face. I have learned a lesson though. Reviews are not a reliable guide to choosing to buy a skin care product! Thank you.

The ingredients are terrible!

Look at the ingredients! Mineral oil, petroleum and fragrance. Yeah it's a no for me.

i try to love it but no

after using this product for the last 6 month i can say its nothing special for this price. Not bad but not reasonable expensive. I hate how it smell .

don't be fooled by the hype. they use very good advertising. I have used many moisturizers and this one makes my face itchy and I started getting pimples and I never get acne. not for sensitive skin. they just want to make alot of money from you from a mediocre product. might as well just use aveeno if your going to buy this.

My one and only now.

This is so amazing. It never fails me. It is definitely worth the cost. Some say it is like Nivea cream. I assure you it's not! Nivea does not contain all of these extra benefits!

Average

There are other creams at a way better price that do the same job

It’s a necessity for my sensitive skin

Yes it’s expensive-it works for me and I have decided it’s worth it. Yes, it has fragrance in it. It smells like old school rich lady cold cream. I don’t mind it and don’t get any irritation from it. In fact, I have broken out from a lot of‘fragrance-free’ products because often they mask the scent. Anyways-you MIST apply this the correct way! You warm it up on your hands and press it into your skin gently. Warming it up allows the algae spheres to disperse and work their ‘magic’. Pls be kind to this tried and true classic.

broke me out instantly

I used this product once and it broke me out on my cheeks. I’ve never had a breakout there before. The moisturizer was way too thick.. Three weeks later, the acne that developed on my cheeks is still there. I do not recommend this product for someone with oily, sensitive, and acne prone skin.

Expensive Nivea knock-off

This face cream is completely indistinguishable from Nivea face cream! I almost cannot believe it. The texture, smell, the way it feels on your skin -- it's truly just overpriced Nivea. Wild. Just buy a big blue tub of Nivea and skip this!

I will stick with my Caudalé.

I am amazed that they have continued to sell this at such a ridiculous price. I tried the small size, and found it not to be as good as the Caudalé that I have uses for years. Don't understand the hype.

I really don’t understand the hype !

I chose this as a sample with my last purchase and was so excited to try this. For years I’ve been hearing people rave about it, but never took the plunge as it seemed so expensive. I’ve only used it once and honestly it’s not at all deserving of the hype. My skin actually felt dry the next morning (I used it in the evening) and I ran back to using my beloved sahajan creme riche… !!!

OVERRATED & stiff like paste!

I received a sample of this in one of my orders. It’s horrible! I would never purchase this crème. It feels like putty on your skin when you apply it. It doesn’t glide at all. Shishedo wins!
